Something unprecedented occurred on March 14th. A reporter shoved a boom microphone into the face of the President of the United States. This occurred while Donald Trump was addressing the press on the tarmac of Join Base Andrews military base in Maryland. Another weird incident occurring in our exceedingly weird times. (more…)

You have to hand it to Donald Trump. Aside from racking up accomplishment after accomplishment in his second term, he has also proven fearless while thinking outside the box for the American people. (more…)

There cannot be a more perfect example of mass gaslighting than the 1998 Coen brothers’ film The Big Lebowski. By inverting sloth, fecklessness, penury, and alcoholism into admirable qualities—essentially making it cool to be a loser—this film offers up the Jewish ideal for a gentile in the character of the Dude.

Cyril Ramaphosa, President of South Africa

On February 7th President Trump issued an executive order which could be considered an act of pro-white foreign policy. In addressing the “egregious actions of the Republic of South Africa,” which enable its government “to seize ethnic minority Afrikaners’ agricultural property without compensation,” Trump has halted all foreign aid to South Africa.

A clay model of Thugs demonstrating their method of murder by strangulation

In the all-consuming culture wars of our era, it is often tempting to look for convenient rhetorical victories. Sometimes, however, these victories can be too convenient. I remember such victories from the 1990s when I first learned of the Thuggees of India. All I knew at the time was that they were a murderous cult, prevalent during the 19th-century British Raj, and that the British (to their credit) had completely stamped them out. (more…)

So, 500.

It’s hard for me to believe that this is my 500th essay for Counter-Currents. I began writing for Counter-Currents in March 2016 (almost nine years ago) as a complete unknown, and since then I have managed to scrape together a decent-sized body of work of over one million words. Yes, I keep track of all of it—every topic I write about, every link I include, every person I mention. (more…)

Homo Erectus reconstruction. Neanderthal Museum

It’s always encouraging when scientific discoveries confirm what people have always known. This is especially the case today when observation and common sense is suppressed and science confirms it anyway—which can be a revolutionary act. In the past 15 years, geneticists have been struggling with the idea of early human “introgression” with archaic hominid populations. (more…)

Many of us remember “ABC,” the salesman motto from the 1992 film Glengarry Glen Ross. It stands for “Always Be Closing.” A salesman should never waste time chatting with a prospective client, and focus always on closing the deal. This is all that matters. (more…)

Since Donald Trump was re-elected in November, many things that were rarely said in the mainstream are now being floated in public and taken seriously. Great examples include mass deportations, the US buying Greenland, Facebook ending its fact-checking algorithms, the phasing out of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs, flipping New Jersey red, and restricting immigration from India.

One of the things I like about Donald Trump’s promise to impose tariffs is how it places the needs of American producers over the needs of American consumers. With strong tariffs in place, consumers might be forced to pay more for superior goods than they normally would, or simply pay more for goods in general. This naturally happens when government artificially influences the market. Without fair competition from foreign goods, domestic producers face less pressure to reduce their prices. By increasing the prices of foreign goods, government is in effect reducing its supply for the majority of consumers, who would not realistically be expected to pay such higher prices. And with reduced supply comes higher costs. (more…)

Did you always intend on writing a No College  Club sequel?

Certainly. When I envisioned The No College Club back in 2021, I had in mind a potential vehicle that could support an indefinite number of sequels—perhaps in other formats, such as comics. I’m even considering illustrated adventures for young children, like kindergarteners or first or second graders. This series will be called The No College Kids and will focus on the children of the No College Club members. At the end of Critical Daze (which is May of 2027) there are four of these children: two 5-year-olds and two 3-year-olds. (more…)

I’m sure that Dissident Right interest in the latest distaff-themed, PG-rated musical hitting the cinemas is fairly tepid. If there is interest at all, it may be in how Jon M. Chu’s Wicked: Part 1, which was adapted from the musical Wicked, ranks on Spencer J. Quinn’s famous cringe scale. Does this fabulous monstrosity achieve a skin-crawling, apocalyptic 10? Or a refreshingly banal goose egg? (more…)

Paul Theroux

Part 1, Part 2

There is more to recommend in Paul Theroux’s African travelogues Dark Star Safari (2002) and The Last Train to Zona Verde (2013) than their comprehensive yet tacit uncovering of racial truths. Yes, race realism is both everywhere and nowhere in these books. (more…)
